The Advanced Thermal Science and Energy Lab in Boise State University has an immediate Ph.D. student opening for highly motived students interested in research on novel materials for energy conversion, thermal management and biomedical applications. The Ph.D. student, expected to start as early as Spring 2014, will receive full scholarship to cover both tuition and a very competitive stipend.

Our lab focuses on development of novel methods to study thermal and energy transport and conversion in nanostructured materials. The new methods developed here will foster fundamental understanding of energy carrier transport and conversion in nanostructured materials and across inhomogeneous interfaces. The research results will spur development of advanced materials and devices for broad applications, including high-efficiency thermoelectric materials, thermal insulation materials, novel thermal interface materials, and biomaterials, etc. Highly motivated students of good background in material science, thermal science and energy conversion, instrumentation and LabVIEW are encouraged to apply.

The MSE Department is part of a vibrant College of Engineering, recently ranked 15th in U.S. News & World Report’s list of best undergraduate engineering programs among comprehensive public universities. The College is experiencing tremendous growth and receives a high level of support from the high tech industry in Idaho and the intermountain west. With nearly 20,000 students, Boise State is the largest university in Idaho. The university is located in Idaho’s capital city and largest metropolitan area, which serves as the government, economic, business, health care, and cultural center of the state.  The City of Boise offers beauty and adventures both outdoors and within its thriving arts scene. Offering convenient access to outdoor recreation, including world-class whitewater, skiing, biking, fishing, and camping.
